The parents of a 13-year-old girl have been found guilty of bringing her to the United States from Canada to marry the infamous polygamous leader Warren Jeffs. A Canadian court has found former husband and wife Brandon J Blackmore, center, and Gail Blackmore, right, guilty of taking their daughter Millie Blackmore, left, to the United States for a sexual purpose when they arranged for her marriage to Jeffs in 2004.

The family's sect leader Winston Blackmore is currently being prosecuted for polygamy.

Hand in hand, Prince Harry and his actress girlfriend Meghan Markle (left) walk through the streets of London as rumors of an impending engagement continue to grow. The prince was pictured holding hands with the American-born divorcee (inset), who has been spending a lot of time with him at Kensington Palace since the beginning of the year, after a romantic dinner at trendy private members' club Soho House on Wednesday. Harry, 32, was said by onlookers to be relaxed about being photographed with his new love (right), which is being seen by royal watchers as a sign of how seriously he is taking the relationship. Another indication is that Miss Markle, 35, who is based in Canada where she films the hit television show Suits, has found a sitter for her dogs, Guy and Bogart, who live with her in Toronto.

Some of America's richest people are spending billions quietly preparing for a global Apocalypse and building boltholes in New Zealand. They include the billionaire hedge-fund pioneer Julian Robertson (third from left) and the Hollywood film director James Cameron (third from right). Others, like Mark Zuckerberg (far left) and Larry Ellison (far right), have chosen Hawaii. They fear nuclear war (inset) and the collapse of western civilisation. Steve Huffman (second from right), co-founder of Reddit, has had laser surgery because he does not want to rely on post-apocalyptic opticians.

President Donald Trump reunited with First Lady Melania Trump on Friday afternoon for his first weekend getaway from the White House after a whirlwind week which left Washington - and the world - reeling. 'I told you I'd win that election,' he told a crowd that welcomed him in Palm Beach after a flight aboard Air Force One. The first lady gave him a kiss at the bottom of the stairs he used to exit the presidential aircraft after the flight from outside Washington.
Traveling with the president aboard Air Force One was Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, who chairs a panel of business CEOs for the president. The first lady has had no public appearances since the inauguration. She has been at the couple's Trump Tower home in New York while their 10-year-old son Barron attends school.

On Friday, just a handful of severely marked down shoes are all that remain of Ivanka Trump's clothing line on the Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack websites. The department store announced on Thursday that it was dropping the brand due to poor sales. It's believed that the poor sales were caused by a boycott of Trump brands by those unhappy with the election's outcome. As the final items in her line were put on clearance (items online and at a Nordstrom Rack in New York, right), the first daughter looked downcast as she attended a meeting with business leaders at the White House. Later in the day, she packed up and left her house (left) for the weekend, with her kids in tow (daughter Arabella, left inset)

Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump 's firebrand advisor Kellyanne Conway refused to let Chelsea Clinton's barbed tweet slide. 'I misspoke, you lost the election', Conway tweeted Friday afternoon, after the former First Daughter made the rare decision to jump on the Twitter band wagon and publicly criticize her over a live TV gaffe she made the night before.

Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to be taking on Donald Trump on his chosen medium, Twitter. Schwarzenegger shot back at Trump's Friday morning tweet that trashed his gubernatorial and reality TV hosting record a bit after 3pm. But where Trump used words, Schwarzenegger opted for more of a 'mic drop' and simply linked to a 2006 article about how he released his tax records.

Fred Goldman (upper right), Ron Goldman's father, and Kim Goldman (bottom right), his sister, said on Friday they still thought about Ron every day. Ron (inset) was 25 years old when he was found stabbed to death in 1994 along with Nicole Brown Simpson, OJ Simpson's ex-wife, at her home. Simpson was famously found not guilty during his criminal trial, which ended in 1995. But he lost the civil case filed against him by the Goldman and Brown families two years later. Simpson could walk free in October after an armed robbery conviction - a perspective that invokes 'disgust' for Fred. Kim summarized her feelings towards Simpson by saying: 'Rot in hell.'

Suburban Detroit residents are being advised not to flush toilets or simply hold it in during the Super Bowl halftime show in fears the flushing will overwhelm a massive sinkhole (left). The giant sinkhole damaged a regional sewer main line after it opened up on Christmas Eve, affecting more than 300,000 people in Macomb County, Michigan. Public works chief Candice Miller is worried that the thousands of football fans watching the big game will take a bathroom break at halftime Sunday night and overload the broken sewer line. The Super Bowl is being held in Houston, Texas, on Sunday Night with a halftime show by Lady Gaga (top and bottom right).

Kala Brown, 30, will speak out for the first time after her dramatic rescue from being chained in a storage container and watching her captor, Todd Kohlhepp, kill her boyfriend Charlie Carver. At the time of the rescue, the couple had been missing for two months from their home in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Now, in her first public interview since her dramatic rescue, Brown plans to say later this month on 'Dr Phil' that her captor did not break her. She said in a statement on the shows website, 'No matter what he did to me, he did not break me. He cannot destroy me, and I won'.

Brenda (left), who declined to give her last name, said Friday that she was flying from New Orleans to Fort Lauderdale when flight attendants first accused her of being drunk and belligerent. The waitress says she was sober at the time and told the employees she wasn't intoxicated. She told the network a flight attendant then told her to cover up. Brenda asked a fellow passenger to take a photo of her outfit (upper right) to show that it wasn't inappropriate. She believes the airline was trying to make room for another employee and were trying to find any excuse to remove her from the plane. Spirit Airlines (bottom right, file picture) has denied her claims.

The Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization (bottom right), which will appear Saturday in Destination America's new show 'Killing Bigfoot', responds to reported Sasquatch sightings, hunting down each specimen. Members of the GCBRO, which include former cops as well as National Guard and military veterans, have no doubts about the existence of the creature. The group says on its website that several of its hunters have witnessed it with their own eyes. They use night-vision equipment, microphones and thermal imaging to try to capture traces of the animal (upper right). But GCBRO investigator Don Mcdonald (left) said it's hard to catch a Sasquatch on camera, possibly because of the creature's sharp vision.

A boy happened upon a bag of cash that had been taken in a bank robbery in an amazing find. Griffin Steele and his father made a stop on Saturday at a gas station on Coventry Road in Horry County, South Carolina, while headed to Toys 'R Us. Griffin says on his way into the gas station's store, he found a $20 bill with dye on it. His father Shane asked the clerk if the bill was real, which she confirmed. Griffin later discovered more money in a trash can when he threw out some wrapping from a Gatorade bottle. Shane dialed 911 and learned there earlier had been a bank robbery. Suspect Brian Wilson Humphreys, Jr. (right) had allegedly robbed a TD Bank in Murrells Inlet (inset) on Saturday afternoon and another bank on January 23. He was apprehended this week and was booked into jail Thursday morning.

Celebrities including Katy Perry (left), Gwyneth Paltrow (second left), Miranda Kerr (center), Naomi Campbell (second right) and Victoria Beckham (right) all own crystal gemstones. Some of the most popular crystals include rose quartz, clear quartz, black tourmaline and citrine. To use crystals effectively, exponents say, it is important to 'set your intention' first. In other words, if you don't know what you want, then the crystal cannot help you. You must treat it correctly, they add. Since a crystal is believed to carry energy, it is vital to rid it of any negative vibrations before you begin using it. Believers point to the fact that crystals are used in modern technology such as watches, radios and computers as proof that they can transmit energy into the body.

Malia Obama only started her film internship at the Weinstein Company this week, but she is already partying with onscreen stars after she was spotted at the Girls final season premiere after party.

A company based in Van Nuys, California, that recently released the first ever jet-turbine backpack that lets people fly is now working on a new sci-fi-esque project: A personal flying car. While the flying vehicle is still at the concept stage, the developers plan to start building the first prototype in six months. The plan is for it to be a single-seat helicopter-like vehicle that can fit in a single car garage.

In a new video, an extreme downhill skater is seen falling from at least 15 feet in the air before painfully crushing his tailbone into the hard, frozen ice.

To reconnect with her scars she posed in a bathtub for photographs that celebrate her stomach.
